5. It Keeps Bain's Name In The News...

May 2012

This is yet another media circle jerk...one of many we'll have to endure until November. It's a story that will fade in time and have little to no significance come Election Day. What this story does do is keep Bain's name in the news. The old PR saying goes "say good, say bad, just say"...and that is happening here. Voters will determine Bain's merit on their own...and I firmly think it will be a negative with the "independents" and "swing voters". It also gave the President a chance to pivot on the topic to the central question which is the difference between making money for investors vs. looking after the welfare of a nation. It puts focus on Mitten's claims of being a "job creator" when it was wealth that he generated.

As long as Mittens can't defend his record with Bain...the longer it remains a main issue in this campaign...the more it will hurt him. While people see capitalism in a positive light, they don't see greed that way...
